MH-287 Pregnant - Pottery MillPregnant returns with Pottery Mill, a masterful fifteen track full-length that revels in genre-bending and sonic risk-taking. The voice of Daniel Trudeau defines the Pregnant sound. Vocals that reminds of a spaced-out Neil Young, stuttering glitch-hop beats, and psychedelic instrumentation built around looped guitars and keyed instruments are present throughout the album. Life in Northern California's Sierra Nevada Foothills once again drives the songwriting, as themes of nature, isolation, disintegrating relationships and struggle fight their way through the figurative songwriting's ambiguity and abstraction. Daniel's brother, Matthew Trudeau has been adding his support to Pregnant's live show as of late, and shows up quite seamlessly on many of the Pottery Mill tracks. The album's freewheeling production, abstract lyrics, and fearless audio collage are both captivating and addictive. Pottery Mill is Pregnant's most cohesive statement to date.

His abstract pop songs are built on layers of nuanced guitar fragments and stuttering hip hop rhythms and his tightly looped performances are nothing short of transcendent - Portals / Your sonic voyage awaits ... from the album Pottery Mill - Spacelab / a curious musical tapestry - Delusions of Adequacy / In some sense, Pottery Mill is a callback to early psych - In Your Speakers

Somewhere between obscure chillwave and Animal Collective’s “Peacebone”, you’ll find Daniel Trudeau’s bittersweet folktronic indie music. My first encounter with his Pregnant moniker was 2011’s comparatively subtle “Letter To A Friend” – a blissful folk tune with an experimental edge, taken from his strangely compelling full-length, Life Hard: I Try. Presented below is the video for his latest song, “Crush On” – a song that balances Pregnant’s more accessible side with his odd glitch-pop – possibly his best work to date. - I Found Music
